Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

If you connect the supplied DC adapter (see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 8) or an AC adapter (see “Using AC Power” on Page 8) to the CD player, nickel-cadmium batteries automatically charge while they are inside the CD player’s battery compartment.

Cautions:

•Use only the supplied DC adapter or an AC adapter that meets the speci- fications listed in “Using AC Power” on Page 8 to recharge the batteries in the CD player. Other adapters could damage your CD player or the batteries.

•Do not use the CD player or open the CD compartment cover while you are charging nickel-cadmium batteries.

•Nickel-cadmium batteries charge more efficiently if the temperature is above 40°F (4.5°C) and below 90°F (32°C).

1.Connect an AC or DC adapter to your CD player

2.Insert two RSU 11672508 Ni-Cd batteries into the battery compart- ment. The CD player starts to charge the batteries. Initial and sub- sequent charging takes about 14 hours.

3.It takes about 14 hours to charge new or fully discharged nickel- cadmium batteries. Subsequent charges take 2–3 hours.
